Related Experience:
Dr. Jones has 15 years of geotechnical engineering and environmental consulting experience. He is an experienced project manager and geotechnical engineer; his career has progressed from field studies and construction observation to technical studies, project and client management, and senior-level review. Dr. Jones has been a project engineer and manager on hundreds of facility developments and redevelopments—from preliminary siting through final design and construction. His expertise includes offshore and near-shore construction, deep excavations, high-rise buildings, bridges, roadways, landfills, landslide stabilization, large fill placement, slope and embankment design, engineering for pavement and roads, piers, probabilistic seismic hazard studies, abandoned mine land remediation, and foundation design for a wide range of industrial, commercial, and infrastructure projects.
A key aspect of Dr. Jones’ experience is geoenvironmental engineering. He has health and safety certification to work at hazardous waste sites and is a certified AHERA asbestos designer. He has experience in regulatory compliance, environmental assessment for property transfer, Brownfield redevelopment, site investigations and field sampling, risk assessments, remedial investigations, remediation design, construction management, facilities decommissioning, underground storage tank management, mine closure planning, emergency response, physical and chemical analyses, health and safety, and wetlands mitigation.
